Welcome to the beginning of Summer everyone! Here’s a list of a few things happening around town this week. Starting with our Top 3 listed below!
On Friday 6/10 the Bazaar on Brandon Rd. welcomes back the Charlottesville/D.C. duo, Birdlips! Also on board for the show will be Harrisonburg based Uncle Bengine & the Restraining Orders and Roanoke’s the John Barry Conception. This show is set to start at 9pm only costing you $5 for three great bands! Shown above is a music video for the Birdlips song “Under Crooked Trees”. The band is currently on tour in support of their new release “One Tongue”.
Also on Friday the 10th long running Roanoke modern rock band Madrone throws a CD release party at the Awful Arthur’s Towers location. “Karma Catastrophe” will be released that evening for all who wish to purchase it at the show. This full-length charts a new sound for Madrone and has a very personal theme for singer/guitar JD Sutphin. Opening the show that evening will be Washington, D.C.’s Along Those Lines and Greensboro, NC’s Hephystus. This show starts at 9pm costing you $7. Get pre-sale tickets for the show and pre-orders for the album here at Madrone Online.
On Saturday 6/11 the Shadowbox microcinema on Kirk Ave. will show indie cult hit King of Kong: A Fist Full of Quarters. This documentary follows the paths of two men from very different backgrounds. The first being a nervous middle school science teacher and the second being a narcissistic hot sauce entrepreneur/ classic arcade gamer-celebrity. They are put against each other in competition to win the ultimate prize; the highest score on Donkey Kong EVER! Get to the Shadowbox early and enter in the Donkey Kong tournament! This event will start at 7pm and is sponsored by 16 Blocks magazine.
